U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo, was “briefly detained” by law enforcement while trying to help with a medical emergency at a rodeo Saturday night outside Amarillo, according to his office.
A spokesperson for the representative said in a statement that Jackson was detained amid a “very loud and chaotic environment” and was released as soon as law enforcement realized he was trying to help. Jackson, a physician and retired Navy rear admiral, is best known for having served as the White House doctor for presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
